On November 1, 2025, Chief Justice Martha Koome led a Judiciary delegation, including Supreme Court judges William Ouko and Njoki Ndung'u, to Bondo, Siaya County, to condole with the family of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga at his grave.

• Koome praised Odinga as a statesman whose fight for Kenya's democracy began long before the three presidential election petitions, dating back to the 1980s and 1990s as a key public interest justice champion.
• Koome recalled representing Odinga in court in the late 1990s at the age of 26, after being approached by Ida Odinga, following his detention during former President Daniel Moi's regime.
• She characterized Odinga as a towering figure who helped maintain national unity, deeply committed to constitutionalism, the rule of law, and democratic governance.
